Driver Rollback

Category: science

The process of reverting a device driver to the version that was previously installed.

Rollback is the "undo" button. If the latest driver for your GPU breaks your games, you don’t need to reinstall Windows. You just hit "Roll Back Driver" in Device Manager and the system goes back to the last stable version.

Common Examples

• When the latest graphics patch introduced screen flickering, we performed a driver rollback to return to the previous, stable build.
• Keep the driver rollback option in mind as your first step when a hardware component behaves erratically immediately after an update.
